Indiana University vs CSUF vs CalPolyPomona vs ASU vs University of Utah vs community college transfer to UCB

I'm attempting to determine where I should go for undergrad out of my acceptances for the best change/fastest ramp/internships in a career such as investment banking(I know these are all non targets). I am a California resident right now. My options:
- Indiana University Kelley (Investment banking workshop)
- ASU 
- University of Utah
- Cal State Fullerton
- Cal Poly Pomona
- OR I can go to community college and transfer to UC Berkley/USC/oth high recruitment. (I have no doubt at all that if I take this route, I will get accepted as a transfer)

I have genuinely no preference of one over the other at the moment really, I could roll a dice and every result would feel the same.

Also, in terms of the question that if this was a career suited for me I should have gotten into better schools, that isn't a worry for other reasons I won't go into right now. The work ethic, etc., is not a problem.

Conclusion: Any and all thoughts on some or all of these options would be much appreciated, and thanks for the feedback.

 

Depends on how serious you are about IB already. If u want to grind hard along with having fun, I’d go to ASU. I am a fellow grad working in banking. Feel free to pm if you have questions.

 

Assuming you get into the Investment Banking Workshop at IU, that would be by far the best option on this list. Transferring could work if you delayed your graduation date to recruit during sophomore year, but you would end up spending 5-6 years in college.
